Yankees also appear as part of other bets. For example, the Lucky 15 is almost an extension of the Yankee. As its name suggests, it consists of 15 bets. It’s the same 11 bets as a Yankee, plus an additional four single bets.

A Yankee bet is a wager on four selections that includes 11 separate bets. At least two of the four selections must win for any money to be returned. It is similar to a Lucky 15 bet, only without the single bets. Each Yankee bet will cost 11 units to place, and will. What is a Yankee Bet? A Yankee bet involved 11 bets, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a Four-Fold accumulator; placed on 4 selections. It is similar to a Lucky 15, except that a Lucky 15 includes an additional 4. There are different types of bets available and it is vital to know what each bet means in detail. This article contains detailed information about the so-called Super Yankee bet, including how it works, the number of selections needed, its application in specific sports and examples. A Yankee bet is a four-selection wager that comprises 11 bets – 6 double bets, 4 treble bets, and 1 four-fold acca. Therefore, a £1 Yankee will total to £11. Your winnings from a Yankee bet depend on the number of selections that land, and the odds riding on them. Remember that there isn’t the element of a.

A Super Yankee bet is a wager that is formed of all possible multiple bets from five selections. The bet is a full cover bet type and it does not include the five selections as win singles within it. In total it consists of 26 separate bets.

What is a Super Yankee bet?

A Super Yankee bet also goes by another well-known name, which is a Canadian. They are exactly the same thing, just different names. Why it is sometimes referred to as a Super Yankee is because it is crafted from one more selection than a regular Yankee is. A regular Yankee starts from four selections, a Super Yankee starts with five.

Within the Super Yankee bet, the biggest bet is the five-fold accumulator. Along with that, there are five 4-fold bets, ten trebles and ten doubles all in there. The bet does not need all five selections to win in order to get a return back from it. The minimum amount of winning selections needed is two, because that forms one successful double. Each of the individual bets in the Super Yankee requires its own unit stake.

How does a Super Yankee bet work?

A Super Yankee works off of the cumulative odds that comes from the multiples bets within it. Because all 26 bets in a Super Yankee are multiples it means that the odds can stack up to a big return.

A multiple bet uses what has been returned from the previous leg as the next legs stake. If the third leg of a 4-fold has been successful for example, the returns from that are played as the stake on the final leg of the bet.

So that’s how a Super Yankee gets to big cumulative odds. The more selections that are right within a Super Yankee, the more successful multiple bets are going to be formed.

Winning Example of a Super Yankee in football

On the table in this example is a Super Yankee created from English Premier League options. In order to raise the probability of the legs being successful, odds-on favourites are selected.

Man City 10/11
Man Utd 8/15
Chelsea 1/4
Arsenal 4/5
Liverpool 7/10

26 individual bets will be created from those five selections for the Super Yankee. At a £1 unit stake each, that is £26 total staked.

If all of the selections were winners, then naturally that would mean that a big payday is on the way. The cumulative odds in this Super Yankee example adds up to a total of a £116.17 return.

That is where the appeal comes in. From five odds-on favourites, a big return can be earned. However, because they are all long odds-on prices then the weakness of a Super Yankee is revealed if the bet is not fully successful.

In a big full cover bet like this, the big money comes from the accumulators, in the case of a Super Yankee that is five 4-folds and the 5-fold accumulator. However, it would only take one losing leg out of the entire bet to knock out a lot of the multiple bets.

Losing Example of Super Yankee in Football

So focusing on the same example from above, if the winning selections were brought down to just four, the difference will be notable. If there is one losing selection in a Super Yankee then it will eliminate 15 of the 26 individual multiple bets that are in there. Take that up to two losing selections, that would leave only four bets standing.

If you start to consider losing selections in the bet, then you would end up clearly seeing the drop in comparative returns. For the example we start with the strongest odds of 10/11 on Man City being a losing leg, followed by the 4/5 on Arsenal and then the 7/10 on Liverpool.

Super Yankee Betting Strategy

The Super Yankee bet does take a bit of planning. Because of the 26x unit stake required, there can be a lot risked on this type of bet. The longer-priced odds can be helpful in betting scenarios like this. If three of the five selections were to lose with all of the selections at odds-on prices, it’s unlikely that the initial stake would be covered.

In the above example, once you get down to three lost selections at those odds, there’s not enough to cover the initial £26 outlay. So the key for Super Yankee is strength in odds. A 3/1 contender in a horse race containing six or seven runners would likely be at the head of the market. It may even be the outright favourite. So for the same odds, a punter may be able to size up the horse as a much more reliable option than a 3/1 underdog in a football match for example.

How to place a Super Yankee bet on Bet365?

All full cover bets like this are generated automatically at an online bookmaker. Placing a Super Yankee bet at Bet365 is no different. Five selections from the sportsbook from different events would be added to the slip. Then to create this bet, the drop-down menu of ‘Multiples’ in the bet slip can be clicked. Select the Super Yankee bet option and all of the multiple bets will be covered. The Super Yankee requires a 26x unit stake. However, before doing so, check the latest Bet365 Bonus Codes.

• 6 X Doubles
• 4 x Trebles
• 1 x Four-Fold

You now have eleven possible winning combinations at your disposal, rather than just the one if you had placed a four-fold. It’s very similar to how a Lucky 15 bet works but without the singles.

As an example, let’s place a Yankee bet on some English Premier League action, with odds supplied by BetVictor:

Let’s say for sake of argument that your four selections are Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. You would add these to your betting slip, and where you’d normally select a four-fold, keep scrolling down the page until you come to the ‘Yankee’ box on your coupon.

Now, remember, a Yankee is a combination of eleven bets; so where you’d normally place a £1 wager here it would equate to £11 (a pound on each outcome). So, you may want to lower your original stake to, say, 10p – as this will ensure that your overall outlay is £1.10.

A £1.10 Yankee on these four selections could return £6.41 (a profit of £5.31). An £11 Yankee could return £64.08 (a profit of £53.08).

The composition of your Yankee would look something like this:

Spreading Risk

Know you know how a Yankee bet works you may be looking at your Yankee and thinking: ‘hang on a minute; I could place the same amount on a four-fold and win more money!’

Indeed, a £1.10 four-fold on the above selections would return £14.37 (a profit of £13.27), and an £11 four-fold would return £143.69 (a profit of £132.69). But the key here is that for you four-fold to win, you’d need all four of your selections to triumph; and you only have one winning combination.

With a Yankee, you have eleven possible combinations that could yield profit, and to guarantee a return on your investment you only need two of your four selections to win. This is known as ‘spreading risk’.

Yankee Bet Examples

If you make your picks wisely – as highlighted in the example above – then you should have plenty of profit-making potential at your disposal.

Where to Place Your Yankee

You can place a Yankee on many sports, although much like accumulator bets the two most popular, and arguably best, are football (soccer) and horse racing.

Example Yankee Bet Football

It’s worth noting though that the vast majority of bookmakers will only accept Yankees on match betting in football – they won’t accept Scorecasts, Both Teams to Score, Half Time/Full Time, things like that.

With a horse racing Yankee, you’d simply pick out four horses that you think are going to win their races. The combinations are than calculated in exactly the same way.

It’s worth noting if you fancy playing a Yankee on the horses that you can also select an each way option. This once again multiplies your stake – you’d be up to £22 rather than £11 in the example above – but of course each way betting gives you a greater chance of a return.

How Do Super Yankees Work?

A Super Yankee works along the same lines as a traditional Yankee, but here you have to select five teams, players or horses rather than four.

So in the example above, we’d place our Super Yankee on Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and, say, Tottenham.

Now we have 26 bets in our hand: 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and a single five-fold. Our initial outlay has increased again, but we now have 26 chances of winning – and so our risk is spread even further.

Most crucially, our earning potential is greatly enhanced, as we still only need two of our five selections to come up trumps for us.

Yankee Bet Advantages & Disadvantages

The Advantages of Yankee Betting

• More chances of winning
• Spreads risk
• Better profit potential

The Disadvantages of Yankee Betting

• Requires 11x your original stake
• Pays out less, pound for pound, than a traditional accumulator

And so there you have it. A Yankee offers you a potential goldmine of bookie-bashing potential, but you need to have full confidence in your four selections – otherwise you may end up empty-handed.

Remember, if only two of your four selections come in then you may only break even. So if you’re not completely confident in ALL of your selections, you’d be better off sticking to a double or treble.
